It was one of the stations built when the City & South London Railway opened its extension from Moorgate to Angel on 17 November 1901. It is located between Old Street and Angel. From the start, City Road station was little used, and discussions of its closure took place as early as 1908. However, the station remained open until 8 August 1922 when the C&SLR's northern section between Euston and Moorgate was closed to enable the diameter of the tunnels to be increased from 3.2 m to the Underground's standard diameter of 3.56 m.
